The streets have crumblini, corners and sealcoating won't take care of that problem. The damage is very visible and he feels Gerald Bauer is responsible. Mr. Raati 'lda,, informed Mr. Rybak that they had checked it out and Mr. Bauer was running loaded trucks at first but then just the empty ones ,,,,,ere running on those streets. However, it ,,,,,ill be checked out further; sealing and filling can be done and if the damage is caused from the developer's trucks, he should be responsible. Ellen Stanley, 5670 - 150th Lane N.W. - commented they bought their home last October and at that time they were told that City Sewer and Water Sen, ice would be coming to their neighborhood possibly as soon as 1992. Her comment was she didn'l wan! to pay for sealcoating to a street if the street would be torn up to put in the utilities in another vt:ar or more. She also wanted to know if the project could be done in sections or if the whole area ~ad to be done at the same time. Mr. Raatikka replied that the projec~ would not be done in sections and noted owners could submit a petition opposing the project within 60 days. Regarding the sewer and water, that's also up to the property owners to petition for it in their area. Mr. Hartley elaborated more on the sewer and water issue by saying that the residents could petition for it but then there has to be the money for the project before it could actually go through, so it would take some time after the petition was submitted. Mr. Battler asked Ms. Stanley to call him or talk with him later and he could explain the procedure in greater detail. Bob Schwartz, 5600 - 142nd Avenue N.W. - inquired about City sewer service down 142nd Avenue N.W. from the east side to the new complex on the west. He wondered if the decision had been made for the sewer and if so - would the sealcoating still be an issue since the street would get torn up fight away again. iX~. Raatikka stated there had been no decision regarding the sewer service as yet. He also stated he hoped to avoid running through that street but assured Mr. Schwartz that if it would be running through there soon, the sealcoating would be called off at this time as it would be a waste of money. Sandy Young, 5706 - 140th Lane N.W. stated she was against sealcoating due to City sewer and water sen, ices being a possibility. Jeff Rathmanner, 5726 - 140th Lane N.W. - asked if the process to assess improvements cost to the homeowners was done by Council vote.
